Default 295/50/16 on Lt1 z28 Stockers...

Two questions...

1. Has anyone here ran BF Goodrinch t/a Radials and if so how were they? Launching? Handeling? Weather?

2. I think the BF t/a R's 295/50/16 should work on my LT1 z28 twist wheels but just wondering if someone could doublecheck me...

3. Is there a better 275, 295 or 305 tire for the price?

Thanks guys and I am open to suggestions on this. This is my first Camaro and Im just tryin to get some advise so the more feedback the better.

ummm...no no and...no...

with your 16 inch stock wheels...they are probably 8" wide...the biggest tire i'd run would be a 255...maybe 265s...but a 275 is meant to be run on a 9" wide rim so i wouldn't run anything bigger than that...

I DEFINATELY wouldn't run 295s though...i'm questioning running 295s on my 9"...probably just going to keep it safe and go 285s...

btw...nice E36...i'd love to have an E36 M3 as a DD and get a WS.6 and turn it into a weekend warrior...but that's what dreams are for...

I Ran 295/50/16's On My Gta Rims With No Problems For 4 Years. Bf Goodrich Lists Rim Width 8-10 Inches. Check There Website Out Yourself. I Had Mine On My 75 Though, I Dont Think They Will Fit A 4th Gen Car. Those Tires Are Monster.
